Guys please

Help me compare between buying a Volvo XC90 2006 and Honda Pilot 2006

Which is more adviceable?

nurey:


As reliable as your pocket

dicksonadams:


How reliable is this car?

makjo900:

Acura TL 2007 or 2008

Pls help out with the below but not listed accordingly

reliability
fuel economy/consumption
performance
parts availability
cost of repairs


thanks all

nurey:


Reliable the years you pick but gear is a bit sensitive so no hanky panky and no shortcuts to avoid failure

Fuel economy
It's a 3.2L V6 for base and 3 5L V6 for type-S if fuel economy is so important buy an accord 4cylinder or Acura TSX

performance
0 to 62mph in 5.9secs the type-S with manual gear and paddle shifter can do it a tad better.
3.2L V6 270hp
3.5L V6 286hp
not bad for a luxury sport sedan, not the fastest neither is it the slowest.

parts availability
Body parts are expensive some parts are shared with Honda Accord but be weary and don't drag road with danfo and Keke napep

Cost of repairs
Depends on what needs to be done and workshop you intend to use, baba tawa is cheap but may fo shody job and use inferior parts.
Carquest is a good workshop and have original parts brand-new from the states, their price maybe affordable to some and expensive to some. So only you can decide.

But cost of repair shouldn't be close to what a VW Phaeton would command

makjo900:


Thanks for the quick response.

fuel economy is very important, this is buhari era plus being a family man too. I'm not a speed demon so average performance is pretty fine by me. By expensive, do you mean lexus expensive or what? General/regular repairs done on cars is the idea of the cost of repairs.

rationalmind:


You had better leave that car. You'll be lucky to get 13mpg within town.

Even the alternative Acura TSX body parts unravels after few potholes..

Boss please what do you guys normally mean by "a car is fun to drive"

Badabada:


Ok thx bro. Pls how much those the engine cost? Is250 and will my budget be enough?

HeavenlyBang:


Honda Civic. Check Amdman's thread.


BTW, you can't get performance and fuel economy. They're antithetical.

Fentanyl:


laughs in Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan

What do you guys think of the Lexus IsF 2008-12? Its got a naturally aspirited 5.0 l v8,churns out 416hp and makes about 23mpg, highway. Exhaust note us awesome, and its a Lexus. Gas anyone used it? Any known issues?

ivoryhouse:
You can get the IsF for as low as $15k, on ebay, clear title but with about 110k miles. Camaro looks like a rock fell on the roof, not for me. My favorite American muscle car is the Challenger, which will eat the camaro...I digress
